Direct dialling for SDCAs
NEW DELHI, Aug 17: THE Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has decided to treat the entire short distance charging area (SDCA) as one local area for the purpose of charging. Under the revised policy, effective August 15, calls to adjacent SDCAs will now get the facility of inter-dialing on a basic rate of three minutes per call unit. Earlier, calls to adjacent SDCAs were made on STD rates.Commenting on this significant initiative, minister of communications Sushma Swaraj said that a long-pending demand of telephone subscribers from suburban and rural areas for direct-dialing facility on reduced-call charges with metros and surrounding cities has been fulfilled.
